Declan Rice, England, Thomas Tuchel
18 June 2026
Declan Rice is expected to be available for England’s World Cup match against Ghana after feeling lower-back and upper-hamstring discomfort during the 4-2 win over Croatia. Thomas Tuchel substituted him early to avoid worsening the problem.
The issue is understood to be something Rice has managed for some time rather than a fresh major injury. England will monitor him through the tournament, but current indications suggest he should remain in contention for Tuesday’s group match.
